Overall, puzzles in VLR are quite more complex than in 999. I've been replaying this game lately, and I noticed the difference. They've really stepped up their games with the sequel, and believe me, that damn notepad... you're gonna use it. A lot. Believe me
(Wish there was a similar feature in 999, though... it may already be in there, actually. Come to think of it, I never found the calculator... is it available during escape sequences or only during the novel parts ?).
***
Currently on my way to the 'Normal' ending in 999. VLR really nailed it with the timelines system. Didn't bother me too much the first two times I played the game, but after playing VLR, it's become a bit of a pain to actually having to go through already read text PLUS redoing the escape sequences.
Which is kinda ironical, as I didn't use the fastforward feature in VLR, I just kept using the stylus to go through text. There were some parts I just couldn't miss each time :
Boy was I glad there was voice acting in the game, as this scene wouldn't have been the same otherwise.

Hmm, it does work during the Novel sections, but not during the escape sections (then again, I tried at the very beginning, in the cell, so it might not be activated yet ;)). I'll try again this evening.
Nah, Zero III sounds ten times better in Japanese, 'nuff said.
Guess being able to differentiate various ways of speaking in Japanese kinda helps enjoying Zero III's lines in Japanese. I really laughed when Alice actually reads something written by Zero III (don't worry grim_tales, that's no spoiler :D), as it was sooooo weird.

Played some more 999 yesterday, and I noticed something that could be REALLY big (and that I never noticed before, maybe others have... probably, yeah).
Warning, 999 + VLR true endings spoilers!
(Taken from NeoGAF, meaning someone also noticed that). If you look closely, you'll notice the various planet symbols from the locked doors.Sorry for the ''wall of text'', I got a tad carried away there

About my findings :
Sorry for the déjà vu, but my ''finding'' yesterday really hyped me up and set my speculating gears into high-speed motion :p

Oh, and I found something reaaaaaaaally interesting when I was playing yesterday. It's a dialogue between Junpei and Ace, after Door 1. I won't say a word and let you read for yourself.
I was as excited as a squirrel full of crack when I read that yesterday, ha ha. I just like mah crazy-*ss theories
Edit : Aksys Games message about the glitch : click here! (Warning, link contains spoilers!)
Apparently, playing for a long period of time actually increases the chance of encountering that bug. Unfortunately, they only provided a work-around, and doesn't look like there'll be a patch anytime soon (if at all). Looks like they even got Nintendo of America involved, heh.

To get past locks, you have to figure something out in an alternate timeline. You will notice the lock change color when you have the knowledge to get past it. There's also a hint of what to look out for in the lock description.

To go past locks, you need to meet certain requirements... They range from seeing another ending to learning some valuable piece of information in another timeline. So, just a quick heads-up : I strongly suggest you play going from left to right on the flowchart. That way, you won't meet to many 'To be continued endings'. Then, go again from left to right if you want.
Minor spoilers where I tell you where the true ending path is hiding, don't read if you don't wanna know (but I thought it'd be nice to know, so you can enjoy it on 'one go'):

Some more info on the glitch :
While we've made some progress in researching the issue alongside Spike Chunsoft and first party developers, we do not have anything as conclusive as a patch at the present time. We are still cooperating with the developers to find a solution, and I'll update you as soon as any more details come to light."
What a mess, really. One year since the Japanese release, and they've barely understood what's triggering the glitch...

About Zero (very minor spoiler, safe for ya ;) :
Oh, and the Lounge... god was I confused by that puzzles with the drinks...

So, finished 999 the other day, and I have to admit, I really enjoyed myself playing this game again. Of course, it made me realise just how much better VLR is overall, as far as puzzles/gameplay are concerned. The story is of course much more massive and ambitious in VLR, but I did enjoy the ''simplicity'' of 999's plot. And now that I'd played VLR, I really saw some events/plot elements in a totally different light (ie: my insane theories, for example :p), and I understood some parts better (even though I had already played the game twice).
Can't wait to replay VLR again, but I'm not gonna do that for now. I decided to go replay Hotel Dusk instead, as I didn't want to burn myself out. I really want to enjoy VLR, but also, I want to understand more stuff, compared to my first playthrough. So taking a break will be for the best I think.

Beware of spoilers for both VLR and Zero Escape 3.
